Management of Congenital Dacryocystocele: A Case Series and Literature Review

Daiana R Pur et al. J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2023 May.

Abstract

Congenital dacryocystocele presents with a distinct bluish swelling in the medial canthal region in neonates. The authors present four illustrative cases with differing courses and a literature review on dacryocystocele management to raise awareness of the importance of prompt diagnosis, initiation of conservative management, and appropriate referral for surgical assessment. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2023;60(3):e31-e34.].
